Bulgarian healthcare digitalization initiatives

Overview

Bulgaria has introduced several measures to digitize various aspects of its healthcare system. The Bulgarian Parliament passed amendments to the Health Act at its first reading to digitize the medical expertise process, known as TELK and NELK. This proposal allows for online document submission and the use of artificial intelligence to perform risk assessments to detect potential fraud, though final decisions will remain with medical commissions.

In a separate development, a new unified electronic portal has been launched to centralize announcements for medical specialization vacancies. Developed by the “Future in Bulgaria” association and the Ministry of Health, the platform aggregates positions from medical and educational institutions, allowing candidates to apply online and track their progress.
